Four well-known Polish online media platforms simultaneously wrote about the latest joint development of the Department of Organic Chemistry, the Institute of Chemistry and Chemical Technologies, Lviv Polytechnic, and the Department of Molecular and Interfacial Biophysics, the Jagiellonian University, carried out under the supervision of Professors Yurii Stetsyshyn and Andrzej Budkowski.
- Wirtualna Polska (WP Informacje) – Innowacyjne biopowłoki – cenny wynalazek naukowców z Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego i Politechniki Lwowskiej
- Dziennik Polski24 – Innowacyjne biopowłoki – cenny wynalazek naukowców z Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego i Politechniki Lwowskiej
- Co w Krakowie – Odkrycie naukowców z Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego i Politechniki Lwowskiej
- Alma Mater Journal № 259 (November 2025) – Nowe biopowłoki reagujące na temperaturę i pH
These works are about innovative biocoatings that come from natural raw materials and are able to self-regulate in response to changes in temperature and pH of the environment. Such materials open up new prospects for use in biomedicine – from smart implants to controlled drug release systems.
The first author of the publication was Anastasia Chebotar, a student at the Department of Organic Chemistry at Lviv Polytechnic, who is currently completing her master’s degree in the field of Chemical Technologies of Food Additives and Cosmetics. She conducted a significant part of the experimental work during her scientific internship in Krakow.
Polish publications emphasize that the created biocoatings combine biocompatibility and controlled functionality, thanks to which it is possible to control the interaction of the surface with cells and biomolecules. Such properties open up prospects for the development of personalized medicine and high-tech biomaterials.
The cooperation between the scientific schools of Professors Yurii Stetsyshyn and Andrzej Budkowski has been going on for almost 20 years and constantly brings new significant results in the field of functional polymer coatings, thermosensitive materials and nanostructures for biomedical applications.
This success once again confirms the high level of scientific research at Lviv Polytechnic and its active integration into the European research area.
